What I wanted to know then was whether a certain feature of Gnus
is in Emacs 24.x or not.  The date when the feature was added can
be found in the ChangeLog files, however it can't be known whether
it was done before or after the Emacs 24.x release; there is no
records in the normal files.  IIRC, there were all the ``released''
messages in the ChangeLog files.

Thanks.  It is helpful.

But, er, I realized what I really needs is not Emacs' release dates.
For example, the change made for `gnus-shr-put-image' is not in
Emacs 24.2 even if the ChangeLog in the trunk says as follows:

2012-02-01  Lars Ingebrigtsen  <larsi@gnus.org>
^^^^^^^^^^
 * gnus-art.el (gnus-shr-put-image): Take and pass on a `flags'
 parameter to allow controlling the scaling.

Thanks again.
